Bite Back Campaign

The Blaby District Bite Back campaign has been launched to give local residents, organisations and farmers the opportunity to highlight the issue of irresponsible dog ownership in the district.

Irresponsible owners of dogs can cause serious issues across the local area. Dogs not under control in rural areas can cause damage to farmers and livestock. Failing to pick up after a dog in a rural area can cause devastating effects if the dog faeces is carrying disease.
